Kahae, 41, of Talent, was turning into the northbound lanes of Highway 99 from East Rapp Road as McIntyre was headed south on the highway when their vehicles collided at the intersection, Plummer said.

Jackson County Fire District No. 5, Ashland Fire & Rescue and Talent police responded to the scene at about 9 a.m.

Initially, McIntyre was transported to Ashland Community Hospital, but redirected to RRMC shortly after, Plummer said.

Kahae was not injured, Plummer said.

"People need to be paying attention and not be in such a hurry," Plummer said. "The weather isn't much of a factor yet ... there is no ice. Typically, accidents start with a distraction."
